Set Bing as your search engine, Microsoft donates $3 to charity
Quote: Help Bing Give to SchoolsSet Bing as your default search provider and we will donate $3 to help students.
Every Kid Deserves a Great Education
Every day students use Bing to explore the world, so we have a vested interest in seeing them succeed.
Choose Bing and we’ll send you a $3 donation code to use towards a public school classroom project of your choice on DonorsChoose.org. This money can give a new reader a copy of "The Wizard of Oz," an inkpad to a budding artist, or four new compasses to young urban explorers. Bing Education : Help Bing Give to Schools

It's then up to you if you later decide to change back to your old homepage, or set another homepage.
